1 Peter 2

1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,

Ke ma inge kowos in sisla liki kowos kain in ma koluk nukewa; tia sifil kikiap, ku kaskas wosounkas, ku sok, ku kas in akkolukye sie sin sie.

2 as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow,

Kowos in oana tulik tufahna isusla, malu pacl nukewa nu ke sronin titi mutal lun Ngun, tuh ke kowos nim kowos in kapak ac moulla.

3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

Oana ke Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Kowos sifacna konauk woiyen kulang lun Leum God.”

4 Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.

Kowos in fahsr nu yurin Leum, eot moul su mwet uh pilesrala, a God El sulela ac aksaokye.

5 You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Kowos in fahsru oana eot moul, ac lela in orekmakinyuk kowos in musaela tempul lun ngun, yen ma kowos ac fah kulansap oana mwet tol mutal in sang mwe kisa su mwe akinsewowoye God, ac akkalemyeyuk nu suwos sin ngun lal ke Jesus Christ.

6 Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”

Tuh Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Liye, nga sulela sie eot saok, Su nga ac filiya tuh in eot in sruwasrik in Zion; Ac kutena mwet su lulalfongi ke el, ac fah tiana auli.”

7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,”

Eot se inge yohk sripa nu suwos su lulalfongi; a nu selos su tia lulalfongi: “Eot se su mwet musa sisla mu wangin sripa Ekla pa yohk sripa oemeet uh.”

8 and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

Ac sie pac Ma Simusla uh fahk, “Pa inge eot se ma ac oru mwet uh in tukulkul, Eot se ma ac oru elos in ikori.” Elos tukulkul mweyen elos tia lulalfongi ke kas sin God me; ma inge fal nu ke oakwuk lun God kaclos.

9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Tuh kowos pa mutanfahl se ma suleyukla, mwet tol lun Tokosra, sie mutanfahl mutal, mwet lun God sifacna, suleyukla in sulkakin orekma wo lun God, su pangonkowosme liki lohsr nu ke kalem wolana lal.

10 In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Meet kowos tuh tia mwet lun God, a inge kowos mwet lal. Meet kowos tia etu ke pakoten lun God, a inge kowos eis tari pakoten lal.

11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,

Mwet kawuk luk, su moul oana mwet sac ac mwet fufahsryesr fin faclu, nga kwafe tuh kowos in sisla ma koluk su monuwos kena nu kac, su mweun lain moul in ngun.

12 having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.

Ouiyen moul lowos inmasrlon mwet selulalfongi uh enenu in arulana wo, elos fin mau akkolukye kowos ac fahk mu kowos mwet orekma koluk, elos ac akilen orekma wo lowos uh, ac kaksakin God ke Len se El ac tuku uh.

13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme,

Ke sripen Leum, kowos in akos mwet kol nukewa fin faclu — nu sin Tokosra Fulat, tuh el fulat oemeet,

14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.

ac nu sin governor uh, su srisrngiyuk sin Tokosra Fulat tuh elos in kalyei mwet orekma koluk, ac kaksakin mwet orekma wo.

15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.

Tuh God El lungse kowos in tulokinya sramsram lalfon lun mwet nikin, ke orekma wo lowos.

16 Live as free people, yet not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.

Kowos in moul oana mwet sukosok, tusruktu nimet orekmakin sukosok lowos in afinya kutena ma koluk, a kowos in moul oana mwet kohs lun God.

17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

Kowos in sunakin mwet nukewa, ac lungse mwet lulalfongi wiowos, ac akfulatye God, ac sunakin Tokosra Fulat.

18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.

Kowos mwet kulansap, kowos in akos mwet kacto lowos an, ac arulana akfulatyalos — tia nu selos na su kulang ac nunak wo keiwos, a nu selos pac su kou.

19 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.

Kowos fin mutangla ngal lun mwe keok su tia fal in orek nu suwos, mweyen kowos akilen lah pa inge ma lungse lun God nu suwos, ma inge ac mwe insewowo nu suwos.

20 For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.

Tuh mwe mea in kaksakinyuk kom, kom fin muteng ke anwuk ma orek nu sum ke sripen kom orala sie ma koluk? A kom fin muteng mwe keok su orek nu sum ke kom oru ma wo, God El ac fah akinsewowoye kom.

21 For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,

Pa inge ma God El pangon kowos nu kac, tuh Christ sifacna el tuh keok keiwos ac oakiya sie mwe srikasrak nu suwos tuh kowos fah fahsr in falkal.

22 who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”

Wangin ma koluk el orala, ac wangin kas kikiap lohngyuk sel.

23 When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.

Ke mwet uh fahk kas in akkolukyal, el tia topkolos ke kas koluk; ke el keok, el tia fahk kutena kas in aksangeng, a el eisalang nu sin God, El su nununku suwohs.

24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.

Christ el sifacna usla ma koluk lasr in manol nu fin sakseng, tuh kut in wi ma koluk lasr uh misa ac moulkin moul suwoswos. Kowos kwela ke sripen kinet kacl.

25 For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Kowos tuh oana sheep su tuhlac, tusruktu inge folokinyukme kowos tuh kowos in fahsr tukun Mwet Shepherd, su karingin ngunuwos.
